About Us

JOUNCE is the next generation of an exercise called “rebounding,” which became popular in the 1980s through a study by NASA, which found that trampoline-based exercise increases oxygenation to the cells in your body. NASA studies reported that “rebounding” has unique benefits compared to other forms of exercise because it involves increasing our G-force. G-force refers to the force created on the body as a result of acceleration or gravity. When you jump on a trampoline, your body is momentarily exposed to a small G-force. NASA determined that because of the G-force, rebounding was twice as effective as running.

Although you will be on a trampoline, JOUNCE is not necessarily a jumping activity. Rather, JOUNCE is all about rapid and short bursts of energy into the trampoline, while focusing on strengthening your core and balance. It provides the health benefits of a high impact aerobic activity without pressuring the joints. Most of all, it is fun!

JOUNCE is also self-paced. Participants are encouraged to do their best to follow the routine, but are free to do so within their own personal limitations and skill level. As you become more comfortable on the trampoline, you will be able to ramp up the intensity of your workout.
